I'm caring for my mother, who's 75. After a heart attack Nongnuch can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Nongnuch desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Nongnuch worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,250 goes: • Part-time carer (eight months): $870 • Medication and prescriptions: $120 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $150 Thank you so much.

    Best of luck, Somchai F. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Uppsala.

        is there anything that isn't money that would help Nongnuch?

                  It's all in the list in the story. part-time carer (eight months) is the big one at $870, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
